He was just weak from Gohan attacking him. But if you are wondering why the current Goku had a higher power level than Raditz, then it is an easy answer. Raditz didn't really know that training was a thing before he died, so he never trained. But Goku knows about training and he trains every day.

However, Beerus is extremely terrified of Zeno, in a manner very similar to how the Kais and other gods are scared of Beerus himself. He has a fearful respect of the Omni-King(s), to the point where he will headbutt through his own table to bow to him.
It is stated by the Supreme Kais that Beerus has enough power to destroy the entire universe if he was provoked enough - and it is again later implied that at full power, Beerus would destroy the entire universe. It is also stated by King Kai that Beerus is at a level "far beyond strong".
It's actually over 8,000 in the Manga, but the Ocean Dub chose to say 9,000 as it more closely matched the mouth movements.

So as most of us know, Goku lifted a black hole in DBS episode 118. This was calculated (via this) to be 60 septillion kilograms. The Earth is close to 6 septillion kg in weight, so this makes Goku able to lift 10 Earths in an exhausted base form.

No, Gotenks is not 100% Saiyan; he's a Hybrid Saiyan, a fusion of two half-Saiyan boys (Goten and Trunks), making him an Earthling-Saiyan hybrid, just like his components, but with doubled potential. He's considered a Hybrid Saiyan because he inherits human DNA from his mothers (Chi-Chi and Bulma), not full Saiyan lineage, which is why he's in the "Hybrid Saiyan" category in games like Dokkan Battle, not "Pure Saiyan".
